Default mustang vintage solo question
Just put a mustang vintage solo #76107 on my 2008 fxdc and the braided skirt at the bottom of the seat rubs on the shock cover. It either has to be tucked in a little or pulled out a little when sitting on the bike. Is this normal ? Thanks

On my 07 it just touches the top of the bolt cover.

Did you get a Vintage Wide?

Also the seat fits my butt fine I don't sit on the sides of the seat which I guess could push it down more. I would say 1/4" too long maybe, I don't know.

Don't know about on a dyna, but I weight the same as you and had a mustang on my sporty and I don't think I moved it down any when I sat on it. It was very comfortable, but very firm.

It is the same sitting on it or not sitting on it . I guess sitting on it is when I realized I had to push it in or out.
